# Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a security mechanism implemented in Economize to manage user permissions. It allows administrators to control and restrict access to various features and data within the platform based on assigned roles.

## Available Roles

Economize offers two primary roles: Admin, and Member

<table data-card-size="large" data-column-title-hidden data-view="cards" data-full-width="false"><thead><tr><th>Role</th><th>Description</th><th>Key characteristics</th><th data-hidden data-card-cover data-type="files"></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Admin</strong></td><td>Admins have full access to all projects data and features within Economize.</td><td><p></p><p>Key characteristics:</p><ul><li>Can view and manage all projects</li><li>Has access to all platform features</li><li>Can add, modify, or remove users</li><li>Can assign roles to other users</li></ul></td><td><a href="/files/qRQEyZB9XrvUrox6xD7u">/files/qRQEyZB9XrvUrox6xD7u</a></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Member</strong></td><td>Members have limited access and are restricted to specific assigned projects and features.</td><td><p></p><p>Key characteristics:</p><ul><li>Can view and interact with only assigned projects</li><li>Has access to assigned features</li><li>Cannot add, modify, or remove users</li><li>Cannot assign roles to other users</li></ul></td><td><a href="/files/Smx3oWJ5TI8jM7yCLiMn">/files/Smx3oWJ5TI8jM7yCLiMn</a></td></tr></tbody></table>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.economize.cloud/account-administration-and-security/rbac.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
